Michael Bolton: Effective Beta Testing A large beta test might be a useful publicity stunt, but it's debatable that numbers alone improve the quality of the test. A beta test, like life itself, is like a sewer: what you get out of it depends on what you put into it. Good management and a good test plan mean that QA tests more methodically and thoroughly than any outsider could; an outsider usually cannot hope to have the preparation or the discipline that a well-managed QA team can. www.developsense.com /EffectiveBetaTesting.html   (2451 words)

SyneRyder Journal - How To Run A Beta Test... Or Not? Anyone who has run beta tests before will know that it can be hard to keep enthusiasm up for the duration of the testing period. We explained in the beta invitations that it was a discussion group they could participate in, but apparently it wasn't clear to everyone. But we didn't make this clear in our initial beta test invitations, so no one knew what to expect or what the boundaries were. www.namesuppressed.com /syneryder/2004/betapostmortem.shtml   (1871 words)

Phase II—Expertise and Skills—Beta Test Planning Beta tests can be expensive and high-risk yet the data they provide is often crucial to a company's and product's success. While it is true that Beta tests are good opportunities to visit with customers, train customers and provide them the opportunity to ask questions about the product, these activities often work at cross purposes for usability tests. On the flip side, because the customer is already setting aside time for orientation, training and setup of the Beta test, it can be an excellent time to slip in a usability test or two. www.aracnet.com /~slam/html/skills/betatest.htm   (398 words)

Top Twelve Tips for Running a Beta Test - Joel on Software Split your beta population into four groups and each new release, add another group that gets the software, so there are new beta testers for each milestone. Marketing betas are prerelease versions of the software given to the press, to big customers, and to the guy who is going to write the Dummies book that has to appear on the same day as the product. With marketing betas you don't expect to get feedback (although the people who write the books are likely to give you copious feedback no matter what you do, and if you ignore it, it will be cut and pasted into their book). www.joelonsoftware.com /articles/BetaTest.html   (1260 words)

Vendor approaches to beta testing can range from very organized to haphazard, and your own testing and bug-reporting process has to be rigorous. www.networkworld.com /research/2006/060506-beta-testing-benefits.html   (882 words)

As far as your goods go, whether your beta lasts for several weeks or several years (it really depends on the goal), the main concern is whether or not you're getting done what you need to do to be prepared to go live. www.lifehacker.com /software/hack-attack/hack-attack-beta-test-your-goals-156911.php   (863 words)
